I'm confused. ARod said it wasn't their gameplan to bleed the clock and shorten
the game, but they were just taking what Kansas gave them. What does that mean? How in the world does Kansas's gameplan affect how quickly BYU runs their offense? BYU had a 17-play, 10 1/2 minute drive to start the 2nd half. Let that sink in. That's an average of over 37 seconds per play and there was an incomplete pass in there so that's conservative.

BYU routinely snapped the ball with well under 10 seconds to go and many times it was under 5. How in the wide world of sports does Kansas have anything to do with how quickly BYU snaps the ball? I can understand their gameplan causing us to run the ball a lot which will tend to bleed the clock more, but getting plays in late and snapping the ball with very little time left isn't an opponent thing, it's an US thing. It burned us against Utah a handful of times too as we couldn't figure out formations and everything until too late.

I've seen teams get plays in quicker and snap the ball much quicker. It's not impossible. So if we were taking our time just own it and say our gameplan was to limit their possessions and run the clock and keep it close so we'd have a chance to pull the upset at the end. Cause that's what they played like.
